as far as i know, its impossible to oc the gpu on the lappy. on my 133AX, ive tried every gpu ocing software there is out there, rivatuner doesnt even read it. AtiTrayTools and AtiTools don't work(the slider will return to normal after u refresh the page) and Amd Overdrive which seems like the only one that i thought was working, when i run gpu-z or everest the clock rates didnt change one bit.

hope u know that, if u find a way to oc tell me yah, cheers.

i dont think there is huge improvement even u oced the gpu.. in another case , i can feel the speed when oc the cpu to 3ghz

where can i buy a new batt for my 401AU?

current batt is just 1h2m++ for normal surfing..is that normal?

ya should b normal. i'm using asus k50ab (AMD based)

even with batt saving+k10stat, i could only get max 1hr, 45mins with careful usage

new bios version F.4A - click HERE

Enhancements: Updates the Computrace OPROM to support the next generation of Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.

k50ab better since it can switch hd3200 with ati hd4570 ..thus can safe more battery

my webcam have a problem...sometimes it work, sometimes it doesnt..
how to fix it?

all i did b4, fully uninstall the driver, restart, install the driver back. it work again but not for a long time. it failed after 4-5 switch on.
its 401AU.

(i'm from asus k40/50ab)

Good news guys, finally found a program that can OC 4570. (should be able to OC Ati 3450/3200)
AMD GPU CLOCK TOOL

* OC at your own risk

Sorry if this happen to be wrong thread. It's been so long I have not look-up this section.

My laptop model is CQ40-133AX. I am trying to install Windows XP SP2 on this lappy but problems occurred. The case is my laptop automatically restart or shutting down by itself while installing Windows XP. FYI, I had slipstreamed AMD SATA AHCI with various Windows XP copy. The same problem encountered when I try to install latest Zenwalk(Linux distro). No problem at all for Vista and 7.

I read a few case in the net, it said maybe overheat the problem is or the CD that I use to install XP(something wrong when burning the CD). But I don't think the CD error because I can use the CD to repair-reformat-reinstall my friend's PC. Overheat is not the problem coz I place my laptop in a 24 celcius temp room.

I also tried many version of BIOS, the previous until the latest now, F.4A. The problem still there. I can't finish my installation of Windows XP.

Any thought?

i'm using CQ40-125AX
the heat generated after only 1/2 hour is unbearable.. anyone got heat problem??

try use k10stat to undervolt it .

and test it stability with prime95 ..check first page stated by the thread starter.

what does undervolt mean?

lower the voltage that juice up your lappy proc. low voltage, less heat.
